It is only fitting that a college preparatory school would have a full-time College Counselor on staff. We are committed to our mission being accomplished and having a faculty member available as a resource in the college search and admissions process is a key factor.   The counselor’s role is to help match each RMA student with the college or university that best matches his or her personality, abilities, and dreams.  At this time in their lives, she challenges them to consider what they might want to do with their lives and then to investigate institutions that have a good reputation for these areas of higher education. In each year that follows, the counselor works closer and closer with the student, giving appropriate assistance at each juncture.   Our students prepare for college by challenging themselves in and out of the classroom. They earn every success they receive, and it is a pleasure to showcase our students’ talents to the wide variety of colleges and universities at their disposal.
